What's Spinning

At that time though it probably wasn’t due to the absolute brilliance of what was being released. I’ve had four play throughs though and love it.

Also, what’s that book? I could look it up but you know...lazy

I can only imagine the reason it wasn't released was the Blue Note founders wont to not dilute the market by releasing too much from one artist too close together. It's why a bunch of stuff was shelved.

The book is Notes and Tones by Arthur Taylor. You may know Arthur as the great jazz drummer, but he had the incredible foresight to conduct interviews with a bunch of his fellow musicians and record them for posterity. He was able to get very candid conversations out of them because he was a friend and one of them. I’ve only read the Blakey chapter, but it really is great. Check the list of interviews:

Added to the reading list, Sounds great
 
My collection #721-722

The Charlatans - Between 10th and 11th
EABS - Kraksa

The Charlatans replaced the Stone Roses as the main band of my teenage years (not even Oasis could dethrone them). This was never my favourite of theirs but sounds great on this reissue and comes with a great gig too (shame about the awful reproduction of the cover art). And the EABS is a cracking little EP featuring Tenderlonious.

Journey - Escape (1981)

39 years old as of yesterday! Certainly an essential record for anyone's collection, with it's barrage of heavyweight hits, including Stone In Love, Open Arms, and of course, Don't Stop Believin'. A definitive classic rock record.
 
Um... on a whim (after listening to the sensational Sam Cooke - One Night Stand!, seriously if you think you like Cooke, you have to check that one out), decided to put this in and damn does this MOV pressing sound great. Definitely had not given it a spin with the Blue or Elacs:

Shabaka And The Ancestors - We Are Sent Here By History (Impulse!, 2020 VMP Exclusive Pressing)

Decided to give this a whirl again after seeing the posts about audio issues. I luckily seem to have dodged the bullet with this one. Great album, one of my favourites of the year!
